Nintendo reveals new games and offers a first look at each.

Just days before Thanksgiving, Nintendo released new screen shots ripped from four of its hottest games, three of which are new titles previously unannounced. Out of the 13 screens released by the company, three belong to The hugely anticipated Legend of Zelda.

While these shots appear to be from the extended trailer shown at E3, they offer a fresh perspective on what will undoubtedly be some of the game's coolest features, namely combat and the re-introduction of horseback action.And while information on the new Zelda is scarce at best, it still beats how much we know about the other three games announced.

The all-new Mario Baseball shares cosmetic similarities with the recently released Mario Tennis, and there's a good it will sport a similar roster of characters and the same over-the-top action. While only one diamond is represented in the batch of screens, expect a number of themed fields in the finished product. Haunted baseball diamond, anyone?

Also, the game seems to use a power meter, which is visible on the left hand side of the screen. Whether this meter will act similar to those seen in most golf and baseball games remains to be seen. Up next: Donkey Konga 3.

Sure, gamers living stateside just got their hands on Donkey Konga, with Donkey Konga 2: Hit Song Parade fast approaching, but that doesn't mean we don't deserve an early sneak peak at the third chapter in the series. The shots depict a game very similar to Donkey Konga, with the same colorful beat arrangements and animated characters drumming on screen.

Finally, gamers will assume command of that hungry pink puff Kirby in an all-new adventure. Early screens show the orbish hero inhaling enemies and generally acting like Kirby. The art style looks bright and cheery, sharing similarities with the four-player brawler Super Smash Bros.

Stay tuned. We'll drop all sorts of new info just as soon as Nintendo coughs it up.
